Although oily skin can clog pores and lead to increased acne breakouts, oily skin also has many benefits. Oil helps preserve the skin, and people with oily skin tend to have fewer wrinkles. The key is to strike a balance between having too much oil and maintaining your skin’s
Natural moisture.

By reducing the inflammation of your pimples, you're directly reducing the size. In theory, gradually reducing the size of your pimple with ice can eventually make it go away entirely. When used on inflammatory acne, ice also has the potential to decrease redness, thereby making
Your acne less noticeable. Icing pimples can work by reducing swelling in inflammatory forms of acne. These include:
cysts
nodules
pustules

Although it’s typically associated with hormone fluctuations during puberty, hormonal acne can affect adults of any age. It’s especially common in women. A number of factors may contribute to this, including menstruation and menopause.
On this kind of acne, expert opinions are mixed. Hormonal acne commonly appears on your chins, forehead, and nose. For some people, hormonal acne takes the form of blackheads, whiteheads, and small pimples that come to a head, or cysts.

See let me tell you, sunburn is literally dark patches appearing on your face(mostly around your eyes and forehead) and some part of your body because of excessive exposure to the sun.
Check your face in the mirror, you just will know that you have been burnt by the sun.

On some part of your skin and whiteheads as well. Well, for fungal acne, it's caused by a fungus which inflames the hair follicles on your skin and results to equal sizes of pimplelike bumps. This is technically referred to as malassezia folliculitis.

3 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOUR FACE BREAKOUT WITH PIMPLES. CHECK IF YOU AIN'T DOING THINGS RIGHT.
1. When you brush your teeth, do you foam out? The foams surround your lips?
Check your toothpaste if it contains sodium laureth sulfate. #skinherball
Rt please
1. When you brush your teeth, do you foam out? The foams surround your lips?

Rt please
Sodium laureth sulfate clogs your pores if it comes in contact with your skin. If this ingredient is present in your tooth paste and you foam out while brushing, you are likely to breakout/develop whiteheads and pimples around your lips.
2. Your phone touches your face too much.
The germs on your phone is greater than the one on your toilet seat (if I ain't exaggerating). Which literally means you holding and using something that's dirtier that shit.
Now imagine letting this phone touch your cheeks.

Commonly, your dark knuckles are dark because of the accumulation of dead skin cells and sunburn from the sun's UV rays.

The key difference between both skin types lies in the area of the skin that looks oily. When it comes to oily skin, your face appears greasy. You can also expect blackheads and pimples to become a factor.
When you flip the switch, combination skin tends to be oily but only on your T-zone. The other areas of your face tend to be dry and dull, especially around your cheeks, and eye area.
Look at your T-zone here:

"Pimples form when the oil and dead skin cells on your skin combine to form a plug that blocks the pores. Usually your skin naturally sheds its dead cells. But if your body produces a lot of sebum (oil), those cells can get stuck in your pores, according to the American
